Bass Fishing

Rumor around town is that you want to get into kayak fishing. Choosing a kayak, no matter the brand, is all about budget, and fitting your needs for the type of water you are wanting to fish.

During the warm summer months, it’s quite common that bass will become lazy and linger to cooler and deeper waters, making them seemingly uninterested in most lures that you cast out. This can be a great time to tempt them with an easy meal such as a topwater frog or popper.

It’s fair to assume that during the summer months when the water temperatures are rising dramatically, that bass are spending most of their time in the deep waters. While there is definitely truth to this, don’t overlook the shallow waters, as this is still a great place to target monster largemouth.

Understanding how water columns work is key to being successful in the summer when you’re targeting bass. Without this knowledge, you’re essentially casting blindly, unknowing of where the bass are located.

The blistering sun drives bass deep into the water, and the unpredictability of clear weather can make timing a good day on the water, a bit of a chore. But don’t be discouraged. When fished right, this can be one of the greatest times of the year to hook a monster largemouth.

Just like humans, bass can get exhausted from the heat that the summer months bring. This doesn’t mean that they won’t go out of their way to grab a quick bite, however, you might have to work a little harder for it.
